On June 28th, the Rangers won 5-0 over the Rays for their 6th game in a row, and cut the division lead at that moment to 4 games.
And as part of the aftermath of East Mineral Wells victory, I got into a twitter spat with longtime Houston journalist Moisekapenda Bower of Forbes.com.
I find this analysis silly. The chances the Astros lose the division are about 1%. — Breathin' Orange Fire (@OrangeFire_) June 29, 2019
I have a personal vow not to "yell" at sports journalists on Twitter (I do a lot of yelling at political journalists on Twitter for their indifference to the President's racism--sports should be an escape and the consequences of a bad game or riduculous hot take are never as large as in politics), so this was not a particularly proud moment for me.
